Navigating uncertainty in life cycle assessment‐based approaches to biodiversity footprinting

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1387-1404, May 2026.
Abstract The use of life cycle assessment (LCA) methods is rapidly expanding as a means of estimating the biodiversity impacts of organisations across complex value chains. However, these methods have limitations and substantial uncertainties, which are rarely communicated in the results of LCAs.

On the Ontology of Composites in Abhidharma Buddhism

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 3, Page 679-693, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Abhidharma Buddhism maintains that the only ultimately real (paramārtha) entities in the universe are dharmas, which are simples. What then is the ontological status of composites on this theory? One possibility is that Abhidharma Buddhists deny the reality of composites.

The problem of free will is child's play

Philosophical Investigations, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 147-154, April 2026.
Abstract I argue that the essence of ‘free will’ is control, the ability to do otherwise and that this ability is an acquired skill: We can and do see people acquire it, as for example small children learn to play and to do all the other things that human agents characteristically do.

Radical Uncertainty and New Sector Emergence: An Action Theory of Co‐Creative Stakeholders

Strategic Change, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 177-194, March 2026.
ABSTRACT For much of the past century, entrepreneurship scholars have sought to understand and assess the nature, role, and impact of uncertainty. While the sum total of this work has contributed valuable insights, radical uncertainty—characterized by dynamic conditions in which outcomes are unknowable at the time action must be taken—remains weakly ...

Let Me Transform You: Introducing Transformative Experiences in Entrepreneurship to Refine Uncertainty

Strategic Change, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 303-313, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The relationship between entrepreneurship and uncertainty is ambivalent: while uncertainty creates entrepreneurial opportunities, it simultaneously poses a fundamental challenge. Despite extensive theorizing, conceptual ambiguity persists regarding the locus, origin, and behavioral implications of uncertainty in entrepreneurship.

Natural Compatibilism, Indeterminism, and Intrusive Metaphysics

Cognitive Sciences, 2019
The claim that common sense regards free will and moral responsibility as compatible with determinism has played a central role in both analytic and experimental philosophy. In this paper, we show that evidence in favor of this "natural compatibilism" is

With the increasing use of abdominal cross-sectional imaging, incidental adrenal masses are being detected more often.

Linearism, Universalism and Scope Ambiguities

Analytic Philosophy, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 59-71, March 2026.
ABSTRACT In this paper, I distinguish two possible families of semantics of the open future: Linearism, according to which future tense sentences are evaluated with respect to a unique possible future history, and Universalism, according to which future tense sentences are evaluated universally quantifying on the histories passing through the moment of

Agency Under Prediction: A Review of The Human Test

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2026.
This review examines Ron Folman's book, “The Human Test”, which proposes auditing human agency via measurable predictability scores enabled by AI and large‐scale behavioral data. It highlights the book's practical and ethical implications, while arguing that predictability must be reported with explicit data/compute budgets, out‐of‐distribution tests ...
